  • External defibrillator with training mode and method of use
    Patent number: 7715913
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for training a user to operate an external defibrillator, usable in a therapy or training mode, which includes an energy source; an electrode interface responsive to an electrode arrangeable on a release liner and configured for placement on a subject; and an energy delivery system operable to selectively deliver electrical energy from the energy source to the electrode via the electrode interface. The method includes: when the electrode is coupled to the electrode interface, receiving an input signal from the electrode, prior to placement of the electrode on the subject; based on the input signal, identifying a degree of electrical connectivity along an electrical path including the electrode; based on the determined degree of electrical conductivity, advancing the external defibrillator from a first training state to a second training state; and issuing a training state notification indicating advancement from the first training state to the second training state.

  • Method and apparatus for communicating the existence of an emergency situation without uniquely identifying the source of the communication
    Patent number: 7656285
    Abstract: A system in which one or more alarm sources (10), can wirelessly communicate with a receiver (30), to activate an alarm and does not contain any identification that indicates the communication's source (10). The system may include “repeaters” (40), whose function is to relay the communication from one station to another over distances longer than can be reached by a single transmitter (10), Apparatuses for transmitting (10), repeating (40), and receiving (30), are also disclosed, as well as a communication system comprised of various elements of these.
